Product Information

Full details

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Chicago Lost & Found trainers are designed for adult males seeking a distinctive sneaker with a vintage aesthetic. The key benefit is the unique, aged look that offers a fresh take on an iconic colorway. A potential caveat is that the 'cracked' and 'pre-yellowed' finish is intentionally applied, which might not appeal to everyone looking for a pristine shoe. This guide covers its key features, performance, and care.

FAQs

What makes the 'Lost and Found' version unique?

The 'Lost and Found' edition reimagines the original Air Jordan 1 Chicago colorway with a deliberately aged appearance, featuring cracked leather uppers and pre-yellowed accents to simulate a vintage, 'found' look.

Are the distressed details intentional?

Yes, the cracked leather and pre-yellowed accents are intentional design elements to give the shoe a unique vintage and 'lost and found' aesthetic. They are not defects.

How should I clean these trainers?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth for dust. For dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water to preserve the leather and distressed finish.

Do these fit true to size?

These trainers are generally considered to fit true to size for men's UK sizing. It's recommended to check reviews or try them on if possible.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from leather, featuring a distressed finish as part of its unique design.

Can I wear these for sports?

While they offer good support for casual wear, they are best suited for lifestyle purposes rather than intense athletic activities. The cushioning and support are designed for everyday comfort.

What does 'Retro High OG' mean?

'Retro' indicates a re-release of a classic model. 'High' refers to the silhouette's height, and 'OG' signifies that it is a faithful reproduction of the original 1985 release's design and construction.

Troubleshooting

Uneven cracking on leather

The cracking is an intentional design feature meant to emulate age. Variations are normal and part of the shoe's unique character.

Yellowing on soles appears to be dirt

The pre-yellowed accents are part of the 'lost and found' aesthetic. Clean gently with a damp cloth; deep cleaning may alter the intended vintage look.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with similar style or color. You can find replacement laces online or at sneaker stores. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow for a break-in period. The leather will naturally conform to your foot shape over time. Wear them for short periods initially.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers fit true to size according to UK standard sizing (e.g., UK 9.5).

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust. For tougher dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  • Leather Care: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the cracked leather supple and prevent excessive drying. Apply sparingly to avoid altering the distressed finish.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the leather and the vintage finish.
